The Islamist rebels of Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group), the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, and Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki have begun to use child soldiers in their fight against the Syrian government forces inside the Aleppo Governorate after the latter launched a large-scale offensive to capture much of the province’s northern countryside.

According to local sources, soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) have reported a number of firefights in which children were being deployed by the Islamist rebels to help drive back the government forces.

Some of the children were described as “pre-teen” and unable to properly fire the automatic rifles they were being sent to battle with.

Child soldiers...not new.

I can't recall the other despots who did that. Was one of them Idi Amin?

They have to replace their men with something. After all, when your soldiers toss their weapons, don women’s clothes and slink off, what other choice do they have?

Well, we are seeing President Obama’s fundamental change in action and one has to admit, President Obama has fundamentally changed the world, but not for the better.

In retrospect, it's clear that President Obama’s goal has been nothing less the deconstruction and liquidation of Western Culture and replacing it with Third World Islamic Sharia based culture.

Combined of course, with looting the country like a Banana Republic dictator

During the war with Iraq Iran sent children to run out in front of the troops to detonate land mines.

Something tells me that the Russians don’t really care who they’re killing...nor should they.
